An old, abandoned hay rake, looks kind of like it's been trying to help with my shelter-in-place hair.
Built in the early 19th century Rakes Mill Pond was the brainchild of Jarman Rakes. Rakes Mill Pond is a dammed up pond and creates a swamp similar to what a beaver dam would do. The pond is located just past Mile Marker 163 going south on the Blue Ridge Parkway. You can pull out and park on site. Walk down to the dam and put your hand in the water. You will see a 15 foot water fall.
These raked, facing platforms are seen right across the Mayan world and are believed to be part of a game, a ball court - the Mayan version of tennis, perhaps, or volleyball. However, it's not clear if the Maya ever created a ball, a bouncing ball, or any sort of ball and personally I reckon the game was played with human heads.

This rake will probably remain in this position, but who knows when I will try to tackle the back yard task.
3 exposure hdr to not lose the detail in either the shadows or the light.
I was out raking leaves today and it occurred to me that I haven’t seen anyone using a rake in years. While I whooshed leaves with my rake, all around me I heard that annoying leaf blower sound. I really appreciate the quietness of raking.
...this is in the city of Livonia, Michigan of all places hidden in a wooded area between neighborhoods. In the turn of 1900's a farm was once in this area. Apparently the hay rake had been discarded in this ravine; and over the years; this tree grew around it; along with the city.
The Montana Theatre was built in 1936. The seating configuration is a long narrow layout with a regular raked floor in the front 2/3 of the auditorium, with stadium-style seating in the back. The walls are covered in cloth tapestries which are all original, along with many of the lighting fixtures in the auditorium and lobby.

A small pub serving all kinds of wonderful beers by Borough Market. There was a pub on this site until the early-20th century (probably the same building it looks like), though it was a cafe when converted to the Rake. (Older photo of it from 2008.)

What's a tench rake I hear you ask? Well. It's thrown into a lake to rake up the bottom so the fish (tench) become intrigued and investigate. This one is uniquely fashioned by it's owner with extra lead strips fixed to it.

I saw this couple raking hay at about 6 o'clock in the evening near Bialystok in the Eastern Region of Poland.
I stopped to take this and some other photographs and talk to them. They were 74 years old and had been working in the hot sun since 9 o'clock. We talked in my limted Polish about their small field and their concern with its future after they died. Like many people from Polish villages, their son had left to go to find work in Warsaw where he now lived and would not return to tend the field and live in a village in a small house.
I was touched by the simple, but hard life this couple had lived and by the sense I had of their closeness. I wondered what would happen when one of them died.
This was two years ago and I often think of them as I look at this photograph that hangs in my office. I feel honored to have captured this and to have preserved some of it far away as I continue my own life in a much more priviliged world.
